SIASAR: Rural Water and Sanitation Information System

SIASAR – Rural Water and Sanitation Information System – is a joint initiative launched by the governments of Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama, with the strategic purpose of having a basic, updated and comparable information tool on the rural water supply and sanitation services in place in a given country.

SIASAR is an open system that can be applied in other countries provided they have a similar water and sanitation context to SIASAR founding countries (low levels of coverage, limited self-sustainability, little information, etc.). Currently SIASAR includes Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, The Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Oaxaca (Mexico), Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Ceara (Brazil) and Paraguay.

Success stories

SIASAR has been very useful for planning, statistics, management, decision making for investment, elaboration of assistance strategies and technical and social support of the country's water and sanitation sector.
